Faith & Blue

The national Faith & Blue initiative aims to re-calibrate police-community relations through solutions-focused activities that are organized jointly by faith-based or other community groups and law enforcement agencies. In 2021 and 2022, RPD partnered with several houses of worship to engage one of our strongest partners: the faith community. Events included charity food distributions, meet and greet with congregants, and fellowship events.
